Wilt Love Me? Trust Me? Praise Me? by Amy Carmichael | Women of Christianity

“We say, then, to anyone who is under trial, give Him time to steep the soul in His eternal truth. Go into the open air, look up into the depths of the sky, or out upon the wideness of the sea, or on the strength of the hills that is His also; or, if bound in the body, go forth in the spirit; spirit is not bound. Give Him time and, as surely as dawn follows night, there will break upon the heart a sense of certainty that cannot be shaken.” – Amy Carmichael

Wilt Love Me? Trust Me? Praise Me? by Amy Carmichael

Published August 2, 2018 |

By womenofchristianity

O thou beloved child of My desire,

Whether I lead thee through green valleys,

By still waters,

Or through fire,

Or lay thee down in silence under snow,

Through any weather, and whatever

Cloud may gather,

Wind may blow—

Wilt love Me? trust Me? praise Me?

No gallant bird, O dearest Lord, am I,

That anywhere, in any weather,

Rising singeth;

Low I lie.

And yet I cannot fear, for I shall soar;

Thy love shall wing me, blessed Saviour.

So I answer:

I adore;

I love Thee, trust Thee, praise Thee.
